      | 2. | Remove the oil intake pipe (1) from the oil pump and the engine block. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 4. | Remove the big-end bearing cap from the connecting rod. 
 
 
        The fracture surfaces of the connecting rods and the big-end bearing caps form an individual fit and must not be interchanged or damaged. Do not rest the connecting rods or big-end bearing caps on their fracture surfaces to avoid damage.

      | 5. | Remove combustion residue from the top part of the cylinder bore. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | 1. | Press out the piston together with the connecting rod upward from the cylinder bore. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 2. | Check and clean all parts, change them if necessary. Change the piston - see

       . 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 3. | Put the crankshaft big-end journal in "ND position" and moisten it with engine oil. 
 
 
        Adjust the piston ring positions:
        | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 4. | Oil scraper ring II: offset the steel ring gaps 25 to 50 mm to the left and right of the middle ring gap respectively. Piston ring I: offset the ring gap about 180°. Second piston ring with "TOP" face up. 
 
   
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 5. | Moisten the piston rings with engine oil and compress them with a normal piston ring compressor. 
 
   
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 6. | Push the piston into the cylinder bore with the handle of a hammer. 
 
 
        
         Caution
        
        
        Note the fitting position of the piston and connecting rod.

      | 7. | The arrow (1) on the bottom of the piston pointing towards the timing end of the engine, the boss (2) on the connecting rod towards the gearbox end. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | 1. | Note the order of the big-end bearing caps. 
 
   
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 2. | Fit the big-end bearing caps - boss (1) on the big-end bearing cap pointing towards the gearbox end. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 3. | Big-end bearing cap with new bolts on connecting rod - tightening torque 25 Nm + 30°. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 4. | Fit the oil intake pipe (2) together with a new sealing ring on the oil pump - tightening torque 8 Nm 
 
 
         
          
           | Note |  
           | 
             Recut the threads before reuse and apply locking compound (red) when fitting the bolts. Mounting time including checking torque must not exceed 10 min.
             |  
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 5. | Fit the oil intake pipe onto the engine block - tightening torque 8 Nm.
